Pork baby back ribs are a tender and flavorful cut taken from the upper section of a pig's ribcage, near the spine. Known for their smaller size and leaner meat compared to spare ribs, they are a staple in American barbecue cuisine but are also enjoyed worldwide in Asian, Caribbean, and European dishes. Typically cooked low and slow, they’re often basted or dry-rubbed with spices and sauces that enhance their smoky, savory profile. Nutritionally, pork baby back ribs are high in protein and a rich source of B vitamins like B12, which supports energy production. However, they can also be high in fat, saturated fat, and sodium, particularly when prepared with sugary or salty marinades. Moderation and pairing with nutrient-dense sides like vegetables can balance their indulgent nature, offering a satisfying yet mindful dining option for meat lovers.
